Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 248 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 248 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

248 ft/s → V_(m/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in meters per second:

V_(m/s) = 248 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 75.5904 m/s

The final result is:

248 ft/s → 75.5904 m/s

We conclude that 248 feet per second is equivalent to 75.5904 meters per second:

248 feet per second = 75.5904 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.013229193125053 × 248 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 248 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013229193125053 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred forty-eight feet per second is approximately seventy-five point five nine meters per second:

248 ft/s ≅ 75.59 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one three times two hundred forty-eight feet per second.
